Dissertations

This study looked for factors that might have influenced faculty perceptions of new deans at a professional school in the western part of the United States. More specifically, the study explored the question of how organizational trust may have influenced perceptions of new deans and faculty willingness to trust new deans. A single case study used guided interviews as data for the interpretive analysis. The study sought to provide insight into the phenomenon of dean transitions. The study also endeavored to add new dimensions to current conceptualizations of organizational trust and culture by highlighting a previously underexplored but potentially relevant …

Come ‘Rap’ With Us: Improving The Retention Of Academically-Qualified Persons (Rap) With Gpas Of 3.0 Or Higher, The Grace E. Harris Leadership Institute At Virginia Commonwealth University, Pamela Boston, Ruth Epps, Cynthia Kirkwood, John Ward Jan 2001

Come ‘Rap’ With Us: Improving The Retention Of Academically-Qualified Persons (Rap) With Gpas Of 3.0 Or Higher, The Grace E. Harris Leadership Institute At Virginia Commonwealth University, Pamela Boston, Ruth Epps, Cynthia Kirkwood, John Ward

GEHLI - 2026 VCUL Team Project Publications

Retention is an important area of concern for Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). This project involves devising initiatives to identify and retain students with a high potential for academic success as outlined in the Strategic Plan for the Future of Virginia Commonwealth University, Phase II. It is theorized that by concentrating efforts on students (both in-state and out-of-state) with a cummulative GPA of 3.0 or higher, an improvement in the six-year graduation and freshmen retention rates can be realized. This would serve to enhance VCU’s status in the academic community (moving from Tier 3 to Tier 2 status) since twenty percent …

Working Partnerships, Partnerships Working, The Grace E. Harris Leadership Institute At Virginia Commonwealth University, Robert Higgins, Catherine Howard, Njeri Jackson, Nancy Scott, Veronica Shuford

GEHLI - 2026 VCUL Team Project Publications

Involvement in community partnerships at Virginia Commonwealth University has its roots in the institution's history. The Medical College of Virginia, founded in1838, and the Richmond Professional Institute, founded in 1917, both sought to extend knowledge into the community to change peoples' lives for the better. Today, the VCU campuses are even more entwined with the City of Richmond -- physically, and increasingly so as a partner in the economic and social challenges and opportunities facing the City.

Improving Compliance: Listening To The Patient's Perspective, Faith Coleman Jan 2001

Improving Compliance: Listening To The Patient's Perspective, Faith Coleman

UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations

A large number of patients do not follow medical advice for reasons generally unclear to the health care provider. Significant morbidity and mortality can be outcomes of noncompliance. The purpose of this naturalistic inquiry was to study and clarify from the patient's perspective, issues identified as influencing the ability to comply with provider recommendations. Data collection and analysis occurred simultaneously as a fluid process of organizing and synthesizing qualitative material into categories or themes that emerged to illuminate a phenomenon. Seventy-six percent of participants described themselves as 100% compliant though they did not take medications as prescribed or failed to …

The Multiplicities Of A Dual-Thin Q-Polynomial Association Scheme, Bruce E. Sagen, John S. Caughman Iv Jan 2001

The Multiplicities Of A Dual-Thin Q-Polynomial Association Scheme, Bruce E. Sagen, John S. Caughman Iv

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications and Presentations

Let Y=(X,{Ri}1≤i≤D) denote a symmetric association scheme, and assume that Y is Q-polynomial with respect to an ordering E0,...,ED of the primitive idempotents. Bannai and Ito conjectured that the associated sequence of multiplicities mi (0≤i≤D) of Yis unimodal. Talking to Terwilliger, Stanton made the related conjecture that mi≤mi+1 and mi≤mD−i for i<D/2. We prove that if Y is dual-thin in the sense of Terwilliger, then the …

Taking It Personally: The Role Of Memoirs In Teacher Education, Sharon A. Hollander Jan 2001

Taking It Personally: The Role Of Memoirs In Teacher Education, Sharon A. Hollander

Electronic Journal for Inclusive Education

The current popularity of memoirs and book groups is a cue to education faculty. When complemented by discussion groups and writing assignments, memoirs can be used to facilitate the process of inclusion in the schools by teaching both general and special educators about children with disabilities and their families. These works can also promote quality reading and writing, inspire original and insightful responses from students, and foster a sense of community in class. Some advantages and previous applications of this method are described and recommendations for implementation are made.

It’s like a colored cube. You try to put it together, you get so frustrated you want to throw it at the wall and smash it. But you have to take time; you have to cooperate with it. You have to make it go the way it needs to go. When you finally do it, you’re like, man, I’m kind of glad I didn’t throw it at the wall and smash it. So I know how to do what I need to do now. I know what I need to do to make this cube work. And sometimes life is …

Internet Business Model Patents: Obvious By Analogy, Margo A. Bagley Jan 2001

Internet Business Model Patents: Obvious By Analogy, Margo A. Bagley

Faculty Articles

Part I of this Article provides a look at Internet business model patents in light of key patentability requirements mandated by the Patent Act. Part II traces the evolution of the analogous art component of the non-obviousness determination and illustrates how the malleability of the doctrine, as exemplified in several Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit decisions, has particular relevance to prior art definitions for Internet business model patents. Part III of this Article then examines the doctrine of equivalents and explores how the likelihood of improper application of this doctrine in the Internet business model context is increased. …

Regulation Of Religious Proselytism In The United States, Howard O. Hunter, Polly J. Price Jan 2001

Regulation Of Religious Proselytism In The United States, Howard O. Hunter, Polly J. Price

Faculty Articles

This article will consider various aspects of the U.S. legal system that affect proselytism. Although the United States has had a longstanding constitutional guarantee of the “free exercise” of religion, there are nonetheless significant constraints upon free exercise directly relating to proselytism. Some legal commentators, including Douglas Laycock, have argued that our decentralized system of government leads to insufficient protection of religious liberty, especially for religious minorities.Most case law on the subject in the United States, as well as most attempts to regulate behavior by ordinance or statute, have developed in response to groups or individuals that are outside the …

Casaubon's Ghosts: The Haunting Of Legal Scholarship, Allan C. Hutchinson Jan 2001

Casaubon's Ghosts: The Haunting Of Legal Scholarship, Allan C. Hutchinson

Articles & Book Chapters

Much academic work continues to operate within the cramping and pervasive spirit of a black-letter mentality that encourages scholars and jurists to maintain legal study as an inward-looking and self-contained discipline. There is still a marked tendency to treat law as somehow a world of its own that is separate from the society within which it operates and purports to serve. This is a disheartening and disabling state of affairs. Accordingly, this article will offer both a critique of the present situation and suggest an alternative way of proceeding. The writer recommends a shift from philosophy to democracy so that …
